[PATCH 0/2] drm/radeon: have the callers of set_memory_*() check the return value

[Tianlin Li]

Right now several architectures allow their set_memory_*() family of  
functions to fail, but callers may not be checking the return values.
If set_memory_*() returns with an error, call-site assumptions may be
infact wrong to assume that it would either succeed or not succeed at  
all. Ideally, the failure of set_memory_*() should be passed up the 
call stack, and callers should examine the failure and deal with it. 

Need to fix the callers and add the __must_check attribute. They also 
may not provide any level of atomicity, in the sense that the memory 
protections may be left incomplete on failure. This issue likely has a 
few steps on effects architectures:
1)Have all callers of set_memory_*() helpers check the return value.
2)Add __must_check to all set_memory_*() helpers so that new uses do  
not ignore the return value.
3)Add atomicity to the calls so that the memory protections aren't left 
in a partial state.

This series is part of step 1. Make drm/radeon check the return value of  
set_memory_*().
